New Delhi, Oct 02 A Delhi court has remanded one person to NIA custody till October 3 in connection with a probe into the transnational conspiracy by Myanmar and Bangladesh-based terror outfits to wage war against India by exploiting the current ethnic unrest in Manipur.
The NIA had registered a suo moto case on July 19 here under the anti-terror law Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).
